Look no further to master arrhythmia recognition 5 out of 5 stars.
24 of 25 people found this review helpful.

Arrhythmia recognition is the toughest part of EKG interpretation. Most books that teach it do so by illustrating each arrhythmia with a strip or two, usually using ideal examples. This approach leaves the reader ill prepared to recognize the variations that crop up in practice. The philosophy of this book is "you can't really know an arrhythmia unless you see it over and over".
This book covers all the atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Each brief but thorough chapter concisely explains the electrophysiology of the abnormal rhythm, well illustrated by copious full color graphics, and ends with a series of analyzed strips and EKGs that show the arrythmia in all its possible presentations. As an example, I've always had a problem with recognizing atrial flutter at 2:1 conduction (anybody can recognize the 'saw tooth' pattern at higher ratios). After reading the chapter on the subject, I had it down cold.
There are also quizzes and practice EKGs to drive home the skill, and the book has a corresponding Web site with further resources. Highly recommended.

Editorial Review:

Arrhythmia Recognition: The Art of Interpretation is a graphics intensive training manual on arrhythmia recognition. The text uses hundreds of four-color graphics to easily communicate the complex topics related to arrhythmia recognition. This book focuses on the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the formation and maintenance of complex arrhythmias and on their clinical recognition

It is indispensable for every neurosurgeon. Provides quick and essential information about virtually all matter. Despite it is a handbook it carry even more information than some text books. I wish a PDA version so I will could carry away in my pocket.

As in the previous bestselling editions, the book contains thousands of literature citations, a thorough index, and helpful cross-references for ease of use.

good quick reference. 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

good quick reference book. layout is open and easy to read but lacking the details. needs to read up more like uptodate or emedicine. if you have a PDA, getting the pda version would be nicer than the book version as it is too big & heavy.

For Medical Students, Physician Extenders and Interns 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Its an okay book with decent tips and information but its really too brief and should not be relied on solely for information. Its a great book for medical students and starting interns and physician extenders.
